  • a host system can utilize a memory sub-system that includes one or more memory components, such as memory devices that store data. The host system can provide data to be stored at the memory sub-system and can request data to be retrieved from the memory sub system.
  • a memory sub-system can include multiple memory devices that can store data from a host system.
  • a non-volatile memory device is a negative-and (NAND) memory device.
  • NAND negative-and
  • the memory sub-system includes a memory sub-system controller that can communicate with the memory devices to perform operations such as reading data, writing data, or erasing data at the memory devices and other such operations.
  • the host system can send access requests (e.g., write commands, read commands) to the memory sub-system, such as to store data on a memory device at the memory sub system and to read data from the memory device on the memory sub-system.
  • access requests e.g., write commands, read commands
  • the data to be read or written, as specified by a host request is hereinafter referred to as "host data.”
  • a host request can include logical address information (e.g., logical block address (LBA), namespace) for the host data, which is the location the host system associates with the host data.
  • the logical address information (e.g., LBA, namespace) can be part of metadata for the host data.
  • Metadata can also include a data version (e.g., used to distinguish age of data written), valid bitmap (specifying which LB As or logical transfer units contain valid data), etc.
  • Each of the memory devices can include one or more arrays of memory cells.
  • a memory cell (“cell”) is an electronic circuit that stores information. Depending on the cell type, a cell can store one or more bits of binary information, and has various logic states that correlate to the number of bits being stored. The logic states can be represented by binary values, such as “0” and “1”, or combinations of such values. For example, a single level cell (SLC) can store one bit of information and have two logic states.
  • SLC single level cell
  • the memory sub-system can initiate media management operations, which can include executing, for example, a write operation or read operation, on host data that is stored on a memory device. For example, the memory sub-system may re-write previously written host data from a location on a memory device to the same location or a new location as part of a write refresh operation. In another example, the media management operations can include a re-read of host data that is stored on a memory device as part of a read refresh operation.
  • “User data” hereinafter generally refers to host data and data that is re-written as part of media management.
  • System data hereinafter refers to data that is created and/or maintained by the memory sub-system for performing operations in response to host requests and for media management. Examples of system data include, and are not limited to, system tables (e.g., logical-to-physical address mapping table), data from logging, scratch pad data, etc.
  • a filesystem can be used as a means to organize the user data on the memory device or devices of the memory sub-system by providing procedures to store, retrieve and update the data, as well as manage the available space on the memory device or devices.
  • a filesystem organizes data in an efficient manner and can be tuned to the specific characteristics of the memory device. Filesystems are used on various types of data storage devices to maintain the physical locations of computer files.
  • Filesystems generally allocate space in a granular manner, usually using multiple physical units on the memory device. Filesystems are responsible for organizing files and directories, and keeping track of which areas of the device belong to certain files and which are not being used. Filesystems contain data blocks storing the actual data from an application or operating system running on the host system, as well as metadata blocks. This filesystem metadata contains information about the design, structure and layout of the data structures used to store the actual data. In other implementations, object storage can be used in place of a filesystem. For example, is certain large scale computing implementations, objects can be used in place of a file when the features of those objects are more suitable (e.g., the presence of comprehensive metadata stored with the file eliminating the tiered file structure associated with filesystems).
  • Certain memory devices are also configured with a zone namespace.
  • a zone namespace the address space of the memory device is divided into zones which allows for more efficient management of data as the capacity of the memory device increases.
  • Host systems designed to work with conventional filesystems may face certain challenges when interacting with a memory device having a zone namespace, however.
  • conventional filesystems can write data in blocks as small as 4 kilobytes (KB) in size, while a zone namespace memory device can have an optimal write size that is in the range of approximately 100 KB (e.g., 64 KB, 128 KB, 196 KB). While the data portion of filesystem writes can be adjusted to accommodate such granularities, this is not necessarily true for filesystem metadata writes that are significantly smaller in size.
  • writes are performed sequentially starting from the beginning of each zone.
  • zone write pointer is usually reset, effectively deleting the data in the zone and writing of data can be restarted from the beginning of the zone.
  • the host computing system can modify the write size granularity for regular data without much difficulty so that data is accumulated in to larger chunks based on the optimal write size of the zone namespace. Since the host metadata is so much smaller, however, and must be written to the memory device with the corresponding regular data, certain memory devices are configured to include a non-volatile dual in-line memory module (NVDIMM), for example, where the host metadata can be written.
  • NVDIMM non-volatile dual in-line memory module
  • the NVDIMM can include a number of dynamic random access memory (DRAM) devices that can accept the host metadata from the filesystem in smaller write sizes and store that host metadata temporarily until the optimal write size of the zone namespace is reached and then flush the host metadata to the underlying main storage media (e.g., NAND).
  • DRAM dynamic random access memory
  • the addition of this NVDIMM adds significant cost increases to the memory sub-system and consumes at least one additional available memory slot.
  • Other solutions attempt to modify the filesystem to abide by the rules of the zone namespace, but such changes can be complex and invasive, making them unlikely to gain market acceptance.
  • Still other solutions attempt to create a conventional namespace on the memory sub-system in addition to the zone namespace, so that write operations of any size can be performed. This solution, however, can lead to inefficient use of the memory capacity, can be complex to implement, and can lack adaptability, as the size of each namespace would have to be predetermined at configuration time.
  • zone namespace metadata e.g., address mapping tables. Since the zone namespace uses a larger write size granularity and enforces sequential writes, the amount of zone namespace metadata required is simply less than that of a non-zoned memory sub- system of comparable size. Accordingly, less capacity on the memory device is needed to maintain the zone namespace metadata for the zone namespace.
  • a zone namespace memory device having a capacity of 16 terabytes (TB) might only require around 50 megabytes (MB) of zone namespace metadata, while a conventional memory device might require around 16 GB of metadata.
  • the zone namespace memory device can still include some DRAM to store the zone namespace metadata. Since, in most implementations, the smallest DRAM device available will be approximately 1 GB in size or larger, approximately 90 % or more of the DRAM remains available for other uses.
  • Certain memory sub-systems include a feature known as persistent memory regions (PMR), which allows the memory sub-system to expose internal DRAM (or other volatile memory) to the host system.
  • PMR persistent memory regions
  • the DRAM is uncacheable, and thus cannot be used for runtime operations, but would be nonvolatile (by virtue of a capacitor or other battery), and thus, can be used as a nonvolatile buffer.
  • the PMR from multiple memory sub-systems can be exposed to the host system as a single larger memory having a capacity equal to the total of all the individual PMR contributions.
  • the memory sub-system can expose, via PMR, the unused portion of the DRAM (herein referred to as “PMR free space”), thereby allowing the host system to register that PMR free space as uncacheable PCIe memory.
  • PMR free space functions effectively as an NVDIMM in the memory sub-system that can be used to support metadata management.
  • NVDIMM NVDIMM in the memory sub-system that can be used to support metadata management.
  • the filesystem can continue to make metadata writes in 4 KB block sizes to the PMR free space for temporary buffering.
  • the memory sub-system can issue a zone write of the metadata from the PMR free space to the main memory (e.g., NAND).
  • main memory e.g., NAND
  • other non volatile storage technologies can be used to provide the PMR functionality in place of a DRAM with a power supply.

  • the memory sub-system can use the back-up power (e.g., from a capacitor or other battery) to dump data from the PMR free space into NAND.
  • the data in the PMR free space in this instance can include both metadata, as well as metadata journals for roll back.
  • the memory sub-system can restore the data to the PMR free space by retrieving it from NAND.
  • the filesystem will be mounted and, as part of crash recovery, will check the PMR signature and retrieve all metadata and journals that were previously saved to be able to restore the entire filesystem.
  • the changes to both the filesystem and the memory sub-system are limited, and will not significantly impact the cost of the memory sub-system, while still providing substantial new capabilities.
  • a zone namespace can be implemented in a memory sub-system which utilizes less metadata than a conventional filesystem. Accordingly, less capacity of the memory sub-system is reserved for metadata and more capacity can be provided to the host system.
  • the design of the memory sub-system is simplified, preventing the need for additional discrete memory devices. Furthermore, resistance to power loss is provided in an otherwise volatile memory sub-system.

In one embodiment, memory region manager 113 utilizes the PMR feature to cause the non-zoned addressable memory region (also referred to herein as “PMR free space”) to appear as a separate PCIe memory device to host system 120.

This write size granularity may be different than a write size granularity used by a filesystem of the host system and used to write to volatile memory device 140, which may be for example approximately 4 KB.
  • writes are performed sequentially starting from the beginning of each zone. Many filesystems utilize a write in place approach (i.e. random write) often with smaller granularity than is optimal for zone namespace 232.
  • memory region manager 113 can reset the zone write pointer to delete the data in the zone and can restart writing of data from the beginning of the zone.
  • zone namespace 232 can be implemented using a significantly smaller amount of zone namespace metadata 242 (e.g., address mapping tables). Since zone namespace 232 uses a larger write size granularity and enforces sequential writes, the amount of zone namespace metadata 242 required is less than that of a non-zoned memory sub-system of comparable size. Accordingly, less capacity on memory device 140 is needed to maintain the zone namespace metadata 242 for zone namespace 232. For example, if zone namespace 232 has a capacity of 16 TB, zone namespace metadata 242 might be approximately 50 MB. Since memory device 140 can be approximately 1 GB in size or larger, there can be significant unused capacity on memory device 140.
